In new audio update for fans (recorded on the day ‘Letting Go’ was supposed to hit stores), the mother of two explains that not only is she still hard at work on the album, she’s gearing up to debuted even more remixes of its breezy first offering (she’s already released more than five).

Having honed her image and side-stepped onto another Sony Music label RCA (she was previously signed to the now-dissolved J Records) , Sullivan is hard at work on her third studio album.
